British Gas "HomeEnergy Exclusive Sep 2023" tariff
I agreed to migrate to the British Gas "HomeEnergy Exclusive Sep 2023" tariff on 2021-09-13 & BG confirmed by letter. Today I find they've unilaterally terminated this tariff (not just my contract, the tariff no longer exists) & bounced me onto their standard variable rate. They also failed to give me any notice let alone…

Meter Read Tomorrow - Over Estimation
Hello, In Jan-Feb I had to run a heater full time in my garage. As a result my meter read and bill end of Feb was really high. I’ve just been billed with an estimated read.

Smart gas meter - registering use when no demand
I downloaded the smart meter readings history from my current provider (Octopus) and noticed something odd. From 15/11/2021 (when my previously dumb SMETS1 meter finally became smart again) it showed 0 m^3 of usage throughout the night when the heating was off (apart from particularly cold nights when the thermostat…

Hot water - cheaper from gas boiler or the kettle? For small-ish amounts

So I imagine if I left it to my electricity supplier to guess my meter reading on 31st March they would over-estimate. This would work to…

EDF and Utility Point credit
Hi everyone, I've just become a member on here. I have a bit of an issue with EDF in that they are taking forever to get my credit back from my previous supplier Utility Point.

Fixed rate until June EDF
Hi I’m after some advice, I’m currently in a fixed rate with EDF for gas and electricity until June 22…. Should I consider paying more for the next few months until then?
